Tongue and Groove

Tongue and groove (T&G) is a method of fitting similar objects together, ‘edge to edge joint,’ most commonly used with wood. The technique involves formation of a protruding “tongue” along the edge of one board and a corresponding “groove” on the opposite edge of another. When fitted together, the tongue is forced to slide into the groove, creating a “tight, seamless” joint.

The ‘844 area code’ is a ‘toll-free area code’ that is part of the ‘North American Numbering Plan Administration’ (NANPA). Toll-free area codes, including 844, are not tied to a specific geographic location.

Non emergency

“Non emergency” refers to situations or conditions that do not pose an immediate threat to ‘life, health, property, or the environment’ and do not require urgent attention. In contrast to emergency, ‘non emergency’ situations can be handled more cohesively, allowing time to “schedule services, make decisions, or plan responses.”
